Abstract: 14,262. Noy, B. K. July 4. [Patent of Addition to No. 20,014, A.D. 1906]. Wheel guards and obstruction - removers. - In obstruction-removers for tramway vehicles as described in Specification No. 20,014, A.u. 1906, in which, when an obstacle strikes the gate, the fender is released and pressed on to the track by a spring, a fore guard or fender is provided between the gate and the usual fender. Fig. 1 shows the fore guard b pivoted to the gate a and resting on the front end of the rear guard c, its weight being taken by the chain or rod d. Or the fore guard may be carried by links e, Fig. 2, pivoted to brackets f on the vehicle, stops g being provided to prevent the links e pressing against the gate, and to prevent the links e and fender b from swinging too far outwards. The fender b may be connected to the gate a by links h, and it is formed of bars and cross-slats with ends curved so as to prevent no sharp edges, or of an iron frame carrying a net. The guard b ensures that any person falling sideways under the platform will be caught by the guard, while any obstacle struck by the gate will pass under the guard b and be caught by the rear fender.

Patent GB-190916804-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to Printing Presses and the like.
Inventor: WALKUP SAMUEL THOMAS
IPC: B41F33/18
Filed: 1909-07-19
Granted: 1910-07-19
Abstract: 16,804. Walkup, S. T. July 19. Feeding webs; cutting-apparatus.-If the web breaks in a printing-machine, it is cut off near the reel and the cut edge is held by a clamp, the machine is stopped, and an alarm is sounded by electric means comprising contacts normally separated by the web. As shown in Fig. 1, a web 12 from a roll 11 passes over guide rolls 13, 14, 17, 18, 19, and through a printit g-couple 15, 16. The web normally separates a contact 22 from pivoted insulatedlymounted contacts 23, but when the web breaks the contacts close and a solenoid 39 is energized and causes a core 38 to move against the action of a spring and so release a projection 36<a> on a lever 36 secured to a rock-shaft 28. A pair of arms 29 on the shaft 28 are thus allowed to fall by gravity, and a serrated knife 33, adjustably secured to adjustable collars 31 on a bar 30 connecting the arms 29, falls and severs the web. The cut-off web is clamped by resilient pads 47, 48 against rollers 13, 46 respectively. An arm 49 on the shaft 30 actuates a switch 58 by a cord 59, opens the circuit of the solenoid 39, and at the same time an arm 58<b> of the switch 58 closes a circuit to an alarm bell 65. The current to the driving-motor 55 of the machine is cut off simultaneously with the energizing of the solenoid 39, by the breaking of contact between a fixed contact 52 and a contact 50 carried by an arm 37 secured to the rockshaft 28. A hand switch 70 may be operated by the attendant to cut the web and stop the press whenever the web is defective. More than one set of contacts 22, 23 may be employed. In a modification, shown in Fig. 4, a machine for simultaneously printing two webs 71, 72 is automatically stopped and both webs are cut in the event of a break in either web. After printing, the webs pass between spring-pressed insulated rollers 83, 84 and 83<a>, 84<a> respectively, and when a web breaks, one pair of rollers contacts and connects circuits to electro-magnets 100, 101. The electromagnet core 106 releases a spring-controlled bellcrank 109 from the action of a detent 107, and the movement of the bell-crank 109 actuates a cutter 110 mounted on it and a cutter 114 connected to the bell-crank by a link 113, both webs being thus severed. The electro - magnet 101 releases a spring-controlled switch lever 117 and cuts off the current that drives the machine motor. The electro-magnets 100, 101 may be operated by a hand switch.

Number -printing a p p a r a t u s.-A number - printing device is constructed so as normally to print repeats of numbers in duplicate, the numbers b e i n g simultaneously changed as required by a bandoperated mechanism which can operate without stopping the machine. As applied to a rotary machine for printing duplicate numbers on the bodies and tags of envelopes, two sets of numbering-wheels 11, 12, 13, 14 are mounted in supports 6 of a carrier 5 secured to a flat part of a shaft 1. The wheels 11, 12 are freely mounted, and are provided with ratchet-wheels 17, 20, which are engaged by pawls 27, 30 carried by spring-controlled bails 21, 22, respectively, fitted with rolls 28, 31, which are operated when the numbers are to be changed. The wheels 11, 12 are geared to the wheels 13, 14, so that the wheels 11, 13 and 12, 14 are simultaneously actuated. The rolls 28, 31 are operated by means of two blocks 51, Fig. 1, pivoted to similar arms 45 fixed to, and mounted freely on, a shaft 39, which is controlled by an adjustably spring-pressed rod 59.

Systems for continuouscurrent motors only. - Current in the leads 55, 56, connecting the armatures 2, 3 of a working motor and motor-driven generator respectively, is governed both during acceleration and regenerative braking, by excess -current relays 26, 15, which short-circuit resistances 23, 12 in circuit with the fields. Pairs of switches 34, 35 and 40, 41, under the control of polarized potential and current relays V, C, govern the action of relays 29, 20, which short-circuit the resistance 23 in the motor field circuit, and a resistance 18 in the generator field circuit. The function of the polarized relays is to secure full fields during starting, and, under regenerative braking, to open both the relay switches 29, 20, the motor field resistance being then entirely under the control of the coil 26. Assuming both pairs of switches 34, 35 and 40, 41 to be moved to the right when the motor is accelerating, the relay 29 alone is energized through the connexions 62, 40, 61, 35, 60. Both switches 28, 19 are then closed, and the resistances under their control short-circuited. If the motor is running regeneratively, the direction of current in the windings C alone is reversed, isolating the connexion 61 and therefore de-energizing the coil 29. Simultaneously, the current is passed to a lead 67 and through the switch 34 to the coil 20, which pulls up and throws the resistance 18 into the generator field circuit. The polarity and potential of the current supplied to the generator field G is regulated by a hand switch 9 under the control of the operator. The shunt machine 5 illustrated as driving the generator may be replaced by any other form of power or by an alternating-current motor.
